Understanding Aggression: Preserving The Natural Aggressiveness Among Children

Natural aggressiveness is linked to life. In fact, one could not live without a minimum level of aggressiveness. Aggressiveness is also closely linked also sexuality in an instinctive tendency to seek pleasure. It could be said that a baby needs aggressiveness to be able to suckle. The concept of aggressiveness is precisely opposed to that of fear.

If movements of freedom, emotional expression and motives are continually impeded, aggression manifests in the form of violence towards other living beings. Little by little, they are prevented from experiencing their own options that make them feel that the world is crossing out their perception.

According to Good Therapy, it is essential to differentiate between what is aggressiveness and destructiveness. It is precise if parents preserve the natural aggressive capacity so that destructiveness does not develop, which can be only an unavoidable way when the former is inhibited. The tension that is created from this inhibition is channeled in the worst and most damaging way, both to oneself and others.

Natural aggression, however, can also have connotations of rage at a given moment. Human Kinetics states that if something is contrary to one's natural order or if someone invades one's territory, one tends to experience the need to unleash their anger for the opponent to back away.

If the child feels that he is given a space that allows him to follow his instinctive natural command of pleasure and joy of living, he will naturally tend to develop the best of himself. He will also create constructive, cooperative and harmonious relationships with the world in which he lives.

If the true nature has not been hindered, the envy and hatred experienced by the feeling of "not existing" would not break through in a violent way. Stealing the personal power of the other will simply not take place.
